I load up on the veggies, personally. There are plenty of nutrients in dairy, sure... but also a LOT of calories. Meat is also very calorie dense. Unless you're regularly burning hundreds of calories with intense cardio, you probably don't need that many calories in a single meal.
I am not surprised you get 30% of your daily calories from dairy; drinking a single glass of whole milk contains 200 calories. A small amount of cheese in addition to that and you're pushing 30-40% of your daily calories with ease.

I'm getting the max amount of calories I can when I eat out, because I want value for my money. If I can get 1500 calories for $10, why not? > A small amount of cheese in addition to that and you're pushing 30-40% of your daily calories with ease. 200 calories is only 10% of your daily calorie requirements, even less if you're a healthy, active adult male. A small amount of cheese does not equal 20-30% of daily calories.
- vanilla_nut 4y agoSplitting it up between two meals is definitely a game changer. As long as your other meals include some leafy greens or vegetables, this is a pretty damn efficient way to eat. I used to do this right out of college when I had a crappy kitchen, few kitchen implements, and not much time on my hands.
